Windows Vista 64 bits "Error 0x80300001 Unable to instal to that location....."

Hello.

I've been trying for several hours now, to install Windows Vista 64 bits on my PC.

Here are my specs.

Asrock n68-vs3 UCC

Athlon II X3 3.3ghz

2GB Kingston ddr3 1333 mhz

Seagate Barracuda "7200" 200GB IDE HDD

I have an IDE DVD drive but due to technical limitations I cannot connect both my HDD and my DVD drive to my IDE Connector on the Motherboard.

Because of this I used my Windows Vista 64 bits DVD (which by the way is in perfect state and i have no reason to suspect data corruption) to create a Bootable Windows Vista USB.

The system boots up to the installation screen and It does recognize the Drive and both its partitions, but I get the MSG "Unable to install to that location etc... error 0x80300001"

What Can I do?

Ive tried using another USB drive to install HDD SATA-IDE drivers that came with the Motherboard, but I keep getting the same error

and Yes! i am pretty sure i have the Windows instail USB back on after I install the drivers.

I cant figure this one out and I dont think its because of my IDE drive since I was able to install Windows Vista 32 bit using the same drive with no problem at all.

Help !
